Retired Judge Corrine Sparks, MSVU alumna and Canada’s first Black woman judge, broke barriers in law and education. Her work on R. v. S. (R.D.) changed how Canada views racial bias. MSVU honoured her in 2023 with an Honorary Degree. #WomensHistoryMonth
Dr. Jonathan Roberts is cooking up couscous and legumes for the week on the birth of agriculture in the Middle East. Simple food — served with olive oil and salt — just like 10,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent. Delicious!
Dr. Corey Slumkoski’s HIST 4481 class recently visited the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. Pier 21 historian, Steve Schwinghamer, offered a thought-provoking presentation that problematized the practice of public history by reflecting on what stories get told and why.
Congratulations to Katie Bates, who is graduating this Sunday (Oct. 19) with a BA in History and who has been chosen Valedictorian for the 10 AM ceremony.
